Yeah, I have heard that, but that was also stated right after Thibodeau signed a 4 year contract extension, so if he was really unhappy, I doubt he would re-sign. He could get any open coaching job in the NBA if he were to leave.
The big tiff was when they made thibs get rid of Ron Adams as his assistant coach. That really ****** him off.
If the Bulls were to use all the draft picks they have in the 2014 draft, and if everyone was to enter, the best case scenario for the Bulls would be like so:
Bulls own first round pick ends up Top 7
The Bobcats pick ends up as #11
The Kings pick ends up as #13
So, potentially, the Bulls' draft haul could be: Best Case Scenario
Dante Exum or Rodney Hood - own pick
Noah Vonleh or Gary Harris - Bobcats pick
Aaron Gordon or Tyler Ennis - Kings pick
Currently what it looks like
Doug McDermott or Tyler Ennis
Aaron Gordon or Jordan Clarkson
Not able to get Kings pick

Find it kinda funny that the Bulls will have won their 5th straight game even with Deng now a Cavalier. Thibs' revenge!
Fire Thibs. Or else he's going to drag that gutted roster to a seven or eight seed and an inspired first round loss to the Pacers or Heat.
Can't fire Thibs. Too good of a coach. Maybe he knows something about Rose's recovery that we do not?
I forgot the jimlad. Of course they can't fire Thibs, but he and the players are undermining management's efforts to tank. Maybe they can take tanking to a historic new low and make up a mystery ailment for him so he has to sit out the rest if the season. I've heard of teams shutting down players with a BS injury, but never coaches.
Rondo may come back next week. So the Celtics might steady a bit. The Lakers are in free fall.
